Dallas Cowboy CB Terence Newman (Game MVP) on post-game show

Thanks to TrueblueCowboy from a sport forum:

a) Terence Newman (Game MVP) on post-game show selected by Brad and Babe as the game MVP:
b) Asked what the secret was for him and Aaron Glenn to play the bigger physical receiver types on Detroit. Newman said you just need to have heart.
c) Being a big receiver gives you less leverage and makes you a big target. Big guy might not be as fast. Have to play them different but they do have disadvantages. Helps to practice against a guy like Key.
d) Loves returning punts. Feels like a running back when he does it. Thought he was going to score on that firsty one and also thought for a sec he was going to score on that second punt return.
e) They're taught by Cowboys def back coach to rough up receivers. Not much separation and want to punish receivers.
Asked how difficult it will be to play Thanksgiving with such little rest. Doesn't think it will be that hard since defense didn't have that many plays and offense was on field for so long.
